I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 65, Dave Best responds to three traditional leadership assumptions:1. Team members are the cause of unproductivity2. Team members cannot be trusted3. Team members are less important than revenue, profits, operational expenses, and leadersDave Best is not only a senior manager at The Home Depot, he is a drummer, hockey commentator, self-improvement guru, and a family man. He graduated from Penn State University with a BA in Telecommunications. Regardless of the company, Dave innovates and strengthens team relationships. He builds trust wherever he goes.Whether consciously or unconsciously, some leaders work from the traditional leadership assumption that team members are the cause of unproductivity. When problems occur, they blame the team. Dave talks about what happens when you don’t work from this assumption.Too often, leaders assume that team members cannot be trusted. Trust can mean not able to execute tasks alone or believing that employees will use knowledge about leaders against them. Dave describes what can happen when you work from an assumption of trust.In organizations that have frequent workforce reductions, benefit cutbacks, or removal of employee perks, you’ll likely find leaders who act as if team members are less important than revenue, profits, operational expenses, and leaders. Again, Dave discusses what it is like when employees as more important._________________________________How You Can Support the ShowUnlabeled Leadership is a free service for people to learn about leadership.
